Secluded behind privacy hedges, with a bowered tree canopy at its entry, this Tropical Georgian-inspired estate fronts a serene deep-draft waterway in a picturesque neighborhood located between the private Little Club and Gulf Stream Golf Club, on acreage that was once part of Gulf Stream's historic polo fields. In the gorgeous compound-like oasis of the spacious corner property, the five-bedroom main residence gives a timeless impression with trellised vines and elliptical dormer windows, and is accompanied by a separate two-bedroom guest house.

Set off by black-and-white checkerboard marble floors, the classic foyer introduces the beautifully flowing interiors where the living room, family room, and library all feature fireplaces and open their doors to the waterside garden terrace. Here, various seating/dining spaces surround the pool in this understatedly elegant outdoor entertaining space, anchored by the guest house. Also opening by the pool, the large multi-room master wing offers the luxury of two separate baths. Adding to the outdoor activities, the grounds include a basketball court, hidden behind hedges, and also feature a lift-equipped dock in this magnificent estate setting on Gulf Stream's tranquil coastline.
